Reading things on here have gotten me really scared.
Here are my stats:
Me:
Caucasian male, Minnesota Resident
School:
1. GPA- 3.81 (cumulative, science is higher though), in Honors Program
2. Pre-med club, etc.
3. TA for Graduate Level Biology Class
Volunteer:
1. Bus that travels around at night and provides healthcare and food for homeless and uninsured people (100+ hours)
2. On honors student government volunteer board.
Research:
1. 1.5 years in Breast Cancer, 1 year with Traumatic Brain Injury
2. Poster presented at an international conference
3. First authorship of a published abstract
Shadowing:
1. Shadowed family physician for a week, and will be shadowing him further in the future (50+ hours)
MCAT:
1. Signed up for Kaplan today (shooting for a minimum of a 30), taking test in May
Also, this may not be relavent, but in high school I worked as a certified nurses assistant, so I do have experience working with sick people. I'm not really sure how to place that on an app though, because I didn't continue doing that when I went to college. Maybe could talk about that in my personal statement.
Any ideas of my chances would be appreciated, as well as of possible places to apply.
Thanks for your help!
